Election '08 Delegate Guide
The New York Times has posted an excellent guide to the awarding of delegates in each state for the presidential primaries and caucuses.
The guide also provides links to the latest polling results. Poll results* for the Democrats in Massachusetts show Obama ahead of Clinton by two percentage points, 46 percent to 44 percent, although the margin of error is +/- five percent.
If you need a refresher on the differences between primaries and caucuses and pledged and unpledged/superdelegates, this is a good place to start.
* Much of the election polling in Massachusetts is conducted by Channel 7 News and Suffolk University, my alma mater. Government students can actually participate in the polling if they take the right classes. I was a Government major myself, but preferred writing lengthy essays on Lockeian theory and scathing diatribes calling for the abolishment of the Electoral College to the hands-on stuff.
